Advanced PRP & PRF Treatments for Natural Skin Rejuvenation and Hair Restoration in NYC
At Shafer Clinic, advanced Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapies harness your body’s own regenerative power to restore healthier skin and fuller hair. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon David Shafer, these minimally invasive treatments use concentrated growth factors derived from your own blood to stimulate collagen production, improve firmness and elasticity, accelerate healing, and enhance hair density—delivering natural-looking rejuvenation from the inside out.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF?
PRP is ideal for fast-acting, surface-level treatments (skin, hair)
PRF may be better for deep wrinkles, volume loss, and advanced healing
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment created from a small sample of your own blood that is processed to concentrate powerful platelets and growth factors. These biologically active components play a critical role in tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular renewal. When reintroduced into targeted areas, PRP stimulates the body’s natural healing response, helping improve skin quality, strengthen hair follicles, and support long-term rejuvenation in a safe, natural way.
How is PRP Used?
At Shafer Clinic, PRP is commonly used for both aesthetic skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. It can be injected directly into areas of concern—such as the face, under-eye region, scalp, or thinning eyebrows—to stimulate collagen, improve texture, and encourage new hair growth. PRP is also frequently combined with microneedling, allowing the growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin to enhance firmness, reduce fine lines, refine pores, and accelerate overall skin renewal.
What is PRF?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is an advanced, second-generation form of platelet therapy derived entirely from your own blood. Unlike earlier platelet treatments, PRF contains a natural fibrin matrix that binds together platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins, allowing them to be released more gradually over time. This unique structure enhances tissue regeneration, supports collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and helps reduce inflammation while promoting natural healing and long-lasting rejuvenation.
How is PRF Used?
PRF is a versatile regenerative treatment used for both aesthetic rejuvenation and hair restoration. When injected into areas such as the face, neck, or hands, it helps tighten lax skin, restore subtle volume, and stimulate new collagen for smoother, firmer results. PRF can also be injected into the scalp and eyebrows to activate dormant hair follicles, strengthen existing strands, and encourage thicker, healthier hair growth through the body’s own natural repair processes.
Benefits of Microneedling with PRP or PRF
Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulates the production of collagen & elastin, and in turn helps improve skin firmness and elasticity.
The PRF/PRP solution is absorbed through the pinpricks created by the microneedling so it can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and can help the skin to bounce back faster, with a fuller and firmer result.
